Nietzsche's Most 'DANGEROUS' Work

Beyond Good and Evil was first published in 1886 and it is considered a further elaboration of the ideas Nietzsche introduced in “Thus Spoke Zarathustra.”

Nietzsche clearly understands that the world is changing and he wants to use this realization as a motivation to attack everything that is holding us back from embracing change and evolution.

"One must subject oneself to one's own tests that one is destined for independence and command, and do so at the right time. One must not avoid one's tests, although they constitute perhaps the most dangerous game one can play, and are in the end tests made only before ourselves and before no other judge."

"Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free."

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I respect everyone. I do not respect everyone's behaviors.

My favorite: “Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.”

One's great will like 'love' will makes you do something that makes don't care about good & evil.

"When I found my why, I can bare any how."

“It is terrible to die of thirst on the sea. Does your truth have to be so salty that it can no longer even—quench thirst?”

[lawsonwilliams]

I found Nietzsche's critique of personal morality confused with fear earth shattering. The idea that one isn't necessarily good but rather it's fear that keep us in line.

[tangerinesarebetterthanora]

Your accent meshes very well with Nietzsche's philosophy.

I'm only vaguely cognizant of Nietzsche's teachings (though I will correct that post haste), but I am a person who spends a very great deal of time thinking about concepts, and morality is centralizing concept in society...one may say it's THE centralizing concept of society. And what I KNOW is that morality is a socially and temporally fickle thing...nothing to base truth or certainty upon at all. As morality is the centralizing concept of society, it can then be understood that morality is something that is meant to sculpt the human mind towards a pro-social way of thinking. But truth lies far beyond the normative way of thinking.

I have found that ANY moral concept is dependent upon it's social concept. Murder, thievery, enslavement, genocide....whatever moral one wishes to examine is RELATIVE, and therefore fluid within a social understanding. What I mean here is to say that morals are a convenience for people to think that whatever they are doing is right. That's morality in a nutshell.

Now, how do we go beyond this and set up a truly pragmatic way of moving forward, because one person or group's genocide is rightful warfare to another? I mean here that in the 'world' there is always dominance and submission...that is an ever-present truth...but I proclaim that we are spiritual beings who can move beyond 'the world, ' and therefore we can move beyond a 'dog eat dog' mentality, but ONLY when we acknowledge what the world is and consciously seek to transcend it.

All people are unique. But we are not all equal. There is a big difference.

Thank you for your thoughts. Your channel is refreshing to me. It also pushes me to think from alternative perspectives. I appreciate your work.

[lindanecic]

I really appreciate the subjects you explore and how you present them, thank you

[nickyd.]

Thank you, so much, for this excellent presentation of one of my favorite thinkers. Your excellent interpretation of the master's work is truly appreciated.

[ThePCadict]

Haven't watched yet but the brain is already salivating for this food for thought! I know this happens to many that come here. Enjoy! I will for sure.

i also disagree with the master -slave terms as well as the virtues cited, but i kinda agree on he concept. Though maybe the culture he lived in may induce Biases and really favored virtues associated to war like heroism sacrifice and strengh and grit and even nationalism.
I would prefer to use "Locus of control " or the Actor vs victim dichotomy without necessarily applying hiearchies to it. We could even strectch it, and make a trichotomy of Taleb's concept of antifragility opposed to robustness and fragility
(which I find very neat).

I noticed that self actualized persons have a very internal locus of control, meaning they never blame the outside world and take responsability for failures. They rise above problems, they are often more independant and self reliant.
These men and womens are creating without feeling victimized seing failure as improvement pattern and therefore often end up creating business or creative work .

I think that is what Nietzsche meant by "What does not kill you makes you stronger "

you channel is really stirring my mind ^^ i love it.

[lancelotdufrane]

Perfect. Guess this “Feeling” is not new, or understood…even after examination over time by many. The Ideas remain and repeat. I’m starting to think that, looking clearly at one’s own life/path past and future, is the Work of this insanity we call, existence. I keep walking into the Hurricane, as Head on is the best way to move forward in a strong current.

"I am against hierarchies..."

Too bad. They exist, they are real, and always shall be. People are not equal. Competence hierarchies are a fundamental game theoretic reality that we cannot escape. They are not MERELY social constructions.

[ramonalewis]

Thank you for this. I recognize the actor Armand Assante as Nietzsche. I had to look it up.
' When Nietzsche Wept'
A great actor. I'll have to watch his performance.
A great video as usual ❤

[ProjectMartinville]

I've got the full audiobook on my channel. Some people prefer to visualize when grappling with the arguments of Nietzsche. Listening to an audiobook can help to do that. =)

Morality causes us to approach existence from a perspective that both ourselves and reality is somehow imperfect, but what if we approached it from the perspective that everything is already perfect?

[Ricca_Day]

I completely agree with you on the terminologies that Support the Hierarchy and Underclass mentality. It’s an unfortunate reality, as long as we insist upon Political Solutions and a System of governance to Ensure Equal Outcomes, regardless of the declared intentions of the politically powerful, who continue to Exempt themselves from their own Solutions.
So much good information here.. but ultimately.. it’s our own utilization of it that ends up defining our path.
Thanks 🙏.

Whilst I understand the moralistic milieu in which Nietzsche fostered his theories, his understanding of life must have been influenced by the inordinate amount of chronic illness he experienced, particularly in his approach to “Amor fati”, which I feel confident he would bristle at vehemently, were anyone to say is “fundamentally” anything.. including, but particularly, Christian, though few followers of the faith could likely fathom the similarities.
Growing up in the Southern US, and being by birth Protestant, and through life, a protesting one, the preformed image of Nietzsche as an AntiChrist prefigurement has yielded itself to understanding that the vast majority of those who identify themselves as followers of Christ, simply are not prepared for more than a Sunday service encounter for the majority of our lives.
His battles with recurring illnesses and loss of health that cut short his academic life, and ultimately his actual one, lended him to a version of circumspection and reflection, none take on through individual choice, unless we are more susceptible to masochism than most.

Thanks for presenting him in a positive light, TQM. My objective self is happy to gain a better understanding of him, rather than a centuries old assessment from a challenged Establishment mentality that was possibly even more inherently argumentative than he!
Blessings 🤍
